Let's say I have a census or other source that says the subject was a miller
in 1850 and lived in Smith Co., ST.
I enter this info as an event ("Occupation") and I assume this was in the
same county so I add the county part in brackets in the location field
(especially since I know he lived on the border between Smith and Jones
counties). Or I assume that he died in a particular county though my source
doesn't say that he did. And I indicate in the citation that I got the date
only from the source (and the brackets show that I've added the location --
I might even add a ? in front of the closing bracket).
I don't especially like this way of handling it, in part because it messes
up the Master locations list. But at least the viewer knows the info may be
a bit iffy when s/he looks at the family, etc., view. Of course I can
always give the source for the location as "My assumption."
But I'm wondering how others handle this kind of thing? I'm sure there must
be a better way of handling this.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Master Location List
I have been working on correcting errors in my Master Location List. I
keep
finding wrong locations - with NO ONE in the "Show List" (in other words -
I
have corrected the error). Is there a way to have Legacy REBUILD the
list -
eliminating the empty (unused) locations (which are mostly errors
anyway)??
Thanks
Keith
